(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations provide for the charging of fees in relation to the determination of applications for a technical report or technical certificate for wireless telegraphy apparatus and the testing of such apparatus for that purpose by the Secretary of State pursuant to the provisions of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2372) (regulation 4); the Secretary of State is a body responsible for issuing technical reports and technical certificates for certain wireless telegraphy apparatus pursuant to Article 10.2 of Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (OJ No. L139, 23.5.89, p. 19; as amended by Council Directive 91/263/EEC (OJ No. L128, 23.5.91, p. 1) and Council Directive 92/31/EEC (OJ No. L126, p. 11)). Fees are set at a level to achieve full cost recovery.
Further, these Regulations prescribe fees (“the fixed fee”) for the determination of an application for the issue of an EC type—examination certificate for radio transmission apparatus by the Secretary of State, and they provide for the charging of fees if testing is carried out as part of that determination by the Secretary of State (regulation 5); the Secretary of State is a body responsible for issuing EC type—examination certificates for certain wireless telegraphy apparatus pursuant to the provisions of the 1992 Regulations. Fees are set at a level to achieve full cost recovery.
An application for an EC type—examination certificate or variation thereof may be made in conjunction with an application for approval of apparatus pursuant to section 84 of the Telecommunications Act 1984; if a simultaneous application is made, the Wireless Telegraphy Apparatus Approval and Test Fees Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/2087) makes provision for a reduction in the fees it prescribes for the determination of an application for approval made under it.
These Regulations provide that the fixed fee is due and payable on the making of an application thereunder, and that such fee and the test fee and variable fee are payable irrespective of whether a technical report, technical certificate or EC type—examination certificate or variation thereof issues (regulation 6).
